1165	Phillip Stanwood of Weymouth, Mass.: -A recent examination of original Weymouth town records disclosed that on the “last day of last month 1648” (i.e. 28 Feb. 1648/9) the town ordered fences to be repaired and named Jonas Humphry and Phillip Stainwood fence viewers “below the herring brege” [bridge]. The History of Weymouth (1923), vol. 2, p. 500, also quotes this record but it is not indexed. This record places Phillip Stainwood in New England several years earlier than Ethel Stanwood Bolton (A History of the Stanwood Family (1899), p. 19) first finds him in Gloucester, Mass., when his second child, John, was born the “last day of the last month 1652” (28 Feb. 1652/3). This strongly suggests that Phillip first came to Weymouth, probably as a young man, married there and that his first son, Phillip, Jr., was born there. Weymouth vital records for those years are missing. I suggest that his wife may have been Jane Whitmarsh, daughter of John Whitmarsh, an early settler of Weymouth. Of the partial list of Weymouth immigrants listed in Planters of the Commonwealth, there were three Janes about the right age. Jane Whitmarsh is the only one not disproved. There Herring Brook runs from Back River up to Whitman’s Pond through East Weymouth where the bridge undoubtedly was. John Whitmarsh had land by King Oak Hill not far away. Their church was just beyond the hill by the present cemetery. John B. Trelfall Madison, Wis.	STANWOOD, Philip (I2571)

1171	PIONEER WOMAN OF PLYMOUTH IS BURIED TUESDAY MRS. SARAH H. HUGHES LAID TO REST-HAS HISTORY OF INTEREST HERE Mrs. Sarah H. Hughes, beloved pioneer resident of Plymouth township, near Robinsdale, was laid to rest in the Parker's Lake church cemetery on Tuesday afternoon. After last rites were conducted at the Parker's Lake Church in the precence of a host of friends and relatives who mourn her passing. Death came to Mrs. Hughes on Saturday, January 30th, at the age of 85 years 7 months and 21 days. She had been ill one week suffering a stroke on Sunday of last week. Sarah H. Day was born in Milo, Maine on June 9, 1851 to Mr. and Mrs Nathaniel Day, with her parents she came to Minnesota in 1865 in a well remembered trip for the young girl. Part of the journey was made on the train bearing the body of assassinated President Lincoln, and she recalled glimpses of the sad-eyed throngs that crowded each station in an attempt to look for the last time on the dead President's face. Shortly after the Day family had settled in Plymouth township, Indian troubles broke out in the community. Several hostile tribes crossed the Day property and on some occasions the painted braves took refuge from the cold in the kitchen of their home. The family was known to Indians as a friendly one. On November 30, 1871 Sarah Day was married to Edward C. Hughes in a double - wedding ceremony at the Hughes home. Decendents of this union totalled 91 children, grandchildren and great grandchildren at the time of her passing. The place in which Mr. and Mrs. Hughes made their home in Plymouth township and in which death occurred last week was the center of the community interest for it housed the early post office Mr. and Mrs. Hughes were postmaster and postmistress and their courtesy of the office extended to reading letters received by patrons who could not read in those early days. They held these positions until the apearance of rural route carriers. She was known to all of rural Hennipen folk as a friendly lady of keen mentality, witty personality and led an active life in the community. She proved a good Mother, a helping friend and a kindly neighbor.	DAY, Sarah H (I75)

1177	Princeton Union article, Recipient, An Early Day Story Contributed by That Battle-Scarred Old Veteran, John M. Bursley. Two Unsophisticated Irish Boys Shot From Ambush by Horde of Sneaking Barbarians. I notice that once in a while some"oldest inhabitant" lapses into a reminiscent mood and writes (to me) very interesting letters for the Union, and I think that perhaps, like a log canoe in a stream, there is room for one more. Therefore I will give you another, hoping that those who read it will derive some pleasure therefrom. If so I shall be well repaid for my efforts. Now for the story: My father, Benjamin Bursley, came to Minnesota on November 18, 1854, arriving at the home of J. W. Tibbetts, one mile north of what is now Bailey's station. Mr. Tibbetts kept a tavern, or stopping place for the traveling public where any one could obtain food and shelter, and this tavern was the temporary home of many crews of lumbermen on their way to and from the virgin pineries of the roaring Rura. One night in December of 1855 a crew of men under old Len Day afterward the head of the lumber company of Day & Sons put up at the tavern. Wherever old Len Day was there was also a jug of whisky, and ofttimes the latter was responsible for a rollicking, hilarious time. With Len's crew were two green Irish boys, direct from the Emerald Isle, and in the orgy which was carried on that night these boys were made the butt of the hardened sinners of the woods. As I look back fifty-five years and recall that night it makes me shiver. The debauch continued throughout the night and in the morning Len, with his crew and a jug of whisky, started for the woods. There the men went to work. At that time the woods were full of Indians and old Len dished out whisky to some of them - a very foolish proceeding. Len then commenced to poke fun at the Indians, who, becoming angered, left for their tepees, where they loaded their shotguns and started on the warpath. The two Irish boys, who were working some distance from camp, were approached by a young Indian and advised by him to flee for their lives. He had seen these boys sawing and was anxious to save them, but they refused to take heed. In fact one of them knocked the Indian down. Within a short time other Indians stole up behind the Irish boys and riddled them with buckshot, killing them instantly. Their bodies remained there for several days as the lumbermen dared not show themselves outside of their log house for fear of meeting a like fate. Finally peace was declared the whisky was all gone and the men left their cabin to look for the Irish boys. It was not long before they found their bodies, which they loaded upon a sled and started down river to Tibbetts' place, where my father made coffins for them, and they were buried on the banks of Elk river, one mile north of the old Bailey hotel. I saw many horrible sights during my four years in the military service, but nothing that would approach in ghastliness the appearance of these unfortunate boys when they were laid in their coffins. The funeral of these poor boys was a pathetic scene. There was not a dry eye among all that crew of hardened woodsmen who stood around the grave on the bank of the river. J. M. Bursley.

Phillip Stanwood of Weymouth, Mass.: -A recent examination of original Weymouth town records disclosed that on the “last day of last month 1648” (i.e. 28 Feb. 1648/9) the town ordered fences to be repaired and named Jonas Humphry and Phillip Stainwood fence viewers “below the herring brege” [bridge]. The History of Weymouth (1923), vol. 2, p. 500, also quotes this record but it is not indexed. This record places Phillip Stainwood in New England several years earlier than Ethel Stanwood Bolton (A History of the Stanwood Family (1899), p. 19) first finds him in Gloucester, Mass., when his second child, John, was born the “last day of the last month 1652” (28 Feb. 1652/3). This strongly suggests that Phillip first came to Weymouth, probably as a young man, married there and that his first son, Phillip, Jr., was born there. Weymouth vital records for those years are missing. I suggest that his wife may have been Jane Whitmarsh, daughter of John Whitmarsh, an early settler of Weymouth. Of the partial list of Weymouth immigrants listed in Planters of the Commonwealth, there were three Janes about the right age. Jane Whitmarsh is the only one not disproved. There Herring Brook runs from Back River up to Whitman’s Pond through East Weymouth where the bridge undoubtedly was. John Whitmarsh had land by King Oak Hill not far away. Their church was just beyond the hill by the present cemetery.

PIONEER WOMAN OF PLYMOUTH IS BURIED TUESDAY
MRS. SARAH H. HUGHES LAID TO REST-HAS HISTORY OF INTEREST HERE
Mrs. Sarah H. Hughes, beloved pioneer resident of Plymouth township, near Robinsdale, was laid to rest in the Parker's Lake church cemetery on Tuesday afternoon. After last rites were conducted at the Parker's Lake Church in the precence of a host of friends and relatives who mourn her passing.
Death came to Mrs. Hughes on Saturday, January 30th, at the age of 85 years 7 months and 21 days. She had been ill one week suffering a stroke on Sunday of last week. Sarah H. Day was born in Milo, Maine on June 9, 1851 to Mr. and Mrs Nathaniel Day, with her parents she came to Minnesota in 1865 in a well remembered trip for the young girl. Part of the journey was made on the train bearing the body of assassinated President Lincoln, and she recalled glimpses of the sad-eyed throngs that crowded each station in an attempt to look for the last time on the dead President's face.
Shortly after the Day family had settled in Plymouth township, Indian troubles broke out in the community. Several hostile tribes crossed the Day property and on some occasions the painted braves took refuge from the cold in the kitchen of their home. The family was known to Indians as a friendly one.
On November 30, 1871 Sarah Day was married to Edward C. Hughes in a double - wedding ceremony at the Hughes home. Decendents of this union totalled 91 children, grandchildren and great grandchildren at the time of her passing. The place in which Mr. and Mrs. Hughes made their home in Plymouth township and in which death occurred last week was the center of the community interest for it housed the early post office Mr. and Mrs. Hughes were postmaster and postmistress and their courtesy of the office extended to reading letters received by patrons who could not read in those early days. They held these positions until the apearance of rural route carriers.
She was known to all of rural Hennipen folk as a friendly lady of keen mentality, witty personality and led an active life in the community. She proved a good Mother, a helping friend and a kindly neighbor.

Princeton Union article, Recipient, An Early Day Story Contributed by That Battle-Scarred Old Veteran, John M. Bursley.
Two Unsophisticated Irish Boys Shot From Ambush by Horde of Sneaking Barbarians.

I notice that once in a while some"oldest inhabitant" lapses into a reminiscent mood and writes (to me) very interesting letters for the Union, and I think that perhaps, like a log canoe in a stream, there is room for one more. Therefore I will give you another, hoping that those who read it will derive some pleasure therefrom. If so I shall be well repaid for my efforts. Now for the story:

My father, Benjamin Bursley, came to Minnesota on November 18, 1854, arriving at the home of J. W. Tibbetts, one mile north of what is now Bailey's station. Mr. Tibbetts kept a tavern, or stopping place for the traveling public where any one could obtain food and shelter, and this tavern was the temporary home of many crews of lumbermen on their way to and from the virgin pineries of the roaring Rura. One night in December of 1855 a crew of men under old Len Day afterward the head of the lumber company of Day & Sons put up at the tavern. Wherever old Len Day was there was also a jug of whisky, and ofttimes the latter was responsible for a rollicking, hilarious time.

With Len's crew were two green Irish boys, direct from the Emerald Isle, and in the orgy which was carried on that night these boys were made the butt of the hardened sinners of the woods. As I look back fifty-five years and recall that night it makes me shiver. The debauch continued throughout the night and in the morning Len, with his crew and a jug of whisky, started for the woods. There the men went to work. At that time the woods were full of Indians and old Len dished out whisky to some of them - a very foolish proceeding. Len then commenced to poke fun at the Indians, who, becoming angered, left for their tepees, where they loaded their shotguns and started on the warpath.

The two Irish boys, who were working some distance from camp, were approached by a young Indian and advised by him to flee for their lives. He had seen these boys sawing and was anxious to save them, but they refused to take heed. In fact one of them knocked the Indian down. Within a short time other Indians stole up behind the Irish boys and riddled them with buckshot, killing them instantly. Their bodies remained there for several days as the lumbermen dared not show themselves outside of their log house for fear of meeting a like fate. Finally peace was declared the whisky was all gone and the men left their cabin to look for the Irish boys. It was not long before they found their bodies, which they loaded upon a sled and started down river to Tibbetts' place, where my father made coffins for them, and they were buried on the banks of Elk river, one mile north of the old Bailey hotel. I saw many horrible sights during my four years in the military service, but nothing that would approach in ghastliness the appearance of these unfortunate boys when they were laid in their coffins.

The funeral of these poor boys was a pathetic scene. There was not a dry eye among all that crew of hardened woodsmen who stood around the grave on the bank of the river.
